Can't open in Windows Photo Viewer


Recommended Posts

Here's me assuming this is a Windows OS problem because I'm not sure what else it would be. Lately, when I try to open typical image files, such as .jpg, .gif or .png, Windows Photo Viewer doesn't cooperate. Sometimes it spends forever loading and sometimes and crashes and I get the attached error.

I don't know what COM Surrogate is but it is surely applied to the Windows Photo Viewer. The problem has escalated now, sometimes taking up to six tries to preview a file. As somebody who scans many photos to select the right one for work, this hurdle has begun to take its toll on my workflow in a big way. Any help to resolve this issue is greatly apprecited.
